Final is being re-shown on BT Sport 2 at 14:30. Just in case anyone’s at a loose end.

Yay.....I saw this just in time to record the second half

...old fellas like me will clearly remember Gerry Byrne being a hero for the Reds in the 1965 FA Cup Final. He played almost the whole match with a broken collar bone as the Reds beat Leeds 1-0.

Fast forward 53 years and Mo Salah goes off the field in a European Cup Final with a sprained shoulder. I know times change but what a contrast (@Joey66).

I wrote in the match thread at the time that I couldn't understand why he went off so quick. Champions league final, maybe the only time you'll play in one, I'd have brassed it out to half time at least see how I felt then.

He's broken it again at Wembley this year ? Maybe he should stay away from the place

Yeh, apparently Sergio Ramos straight arm locked Dave Whelan and his leg broke.

I take it Liverpool council workers are on double time clearing up the tons of litter left from the parade.

Watched the second half of the game on BT Sport just now and the schadenfreude was absolutely glorious.

Was quite sad how the commentators were trying to spin the loss in as positive light as possible.

Should start s petition just to have them removed from European football. Would get far more than 300,000 signatures.

I just watched the re-run on BT Sport (didn't watch it first time round). The commentators made very little of Salah's injury during the game, apart from "what a pity" etc. It's only after the game has finished in defeat for them that the scratching round for scapegoats and excuses started.

Its wonderful,suns out,flags in and everytime I think I cant laugh anymore along cones an MMA expert to point out what Ramos done,petitions in full flow,Aldo and the cast of Brookie offering straighteners,and a sudden lack of bellends walking round in shirts bought from charity shops,long may it continue

Give it time. Lee Harvey Oswald will be getting the blame soon.
